TIME TO TAKE ACTION
Our commitment
We help organizations adapt to create a more sustainable future for diverse talent by:
- Challenging our clients and candidates. We listen. We research the evidence and the outcomes,
both positive and negative. - Working with clients who genuinely want to be part of the solution and who visibly and verbally represent the individuals they seek to employ.
- Partnering with clients who see diversity and inclusion as a business objective rather than a
marketing message. - Understanding that more needs to be done: by our clients, by industry as a whole, and by us.

Is Incremental Change Our Common Super Power?
With diversity high on the agenda for every client we work with, we continue to look at our role in helping them to deliver against their goals throughout our work. It highlights the fact that every day, there is the potential to make a difference, and that...

Will the energy transition fuel more opportunities for women in energy?
The renewables sector has had a good year. The election of Joe Biden in the US and the targets from the UK and other nations for phasing out petrol and diesel vehicles all point to future growth.
